Tasting -- Vega Douro Red Wine

Name: Vega Douro Red Wine
Variety: Touriga Franca Blend
Region: Douro
Country: Portugal
Year: 2009
Price: $9.99 (on sale)

Winery Review:  Smooth and wood-aged, this has a polished texture. Fruit flavors of blueberry and red cherry combine with the rounded tannins and a spice note to give a rich feel. Full yet elegant, age this for the next two years.

My Review: This was my first time trying a Portuguese wine. It was on sale at the Vintage Cellar. This grape was very similar to Tempranillo. Pretty dark with dark berry flavors and aromas but with a little bit of spice. It would definitely taste good with a big steak.

I did not eat while tasting this wine.
